What products have you used to paint countertops?

by Donna Arsenault

Answered

Have any of you used paint or any products to resurface your kitchen countertops? We have a wedding in our yard this summer. Not in the budget to replace our countertops right now, but I would like to give them a fresh look. I see lots of products, but looking for reviews from this group of the products you have used that have stood up well.

I haven't done it, but there are some AMAZING concrete countertop makeovers on Hometalk on the cheap. If that interests you, I'll find some for you!

I am more interested in the granite countertop paint kits. I have seen them in a few hardware stores, but don't actually know anyone who has used it. Thanks for the suggestion, but the concrete look is a bit too industrial for my taste. I am really hoping for someone who has tried something.

  I have seen it in a house recently. The finished look was passable but it felt rough.

  Are you talking about the painted granite kits? It didn't have shiny smooth surface? Do you happen to know what product they used?

  While I haven't done it personally(YET!!) I have read countless submissions on Hometalk of people who have used the paintd granite kits you're referring to with absoutely gorgeous results. There are a few different brands, none of them overly expensiveand the process didn't seem intimidating at all. I would go onto Hometalk.com and search for "re-doing kitchen countertops"; I have no doubt you'll be able to see some examples of what you're looking for. Good Luck!

DAICH (not sure of spelling) PRODUCTS - look online. I used the beige stone and it was gorgeous, not too expensive. They had an online video to watch before using and their example was using a black granite look paint. Also, you can buy the "featherweight" concrete mix at Home Depot. If this is for outside it may stand up better to the weather.
